In the early stages, they will often email a business plan and/or hold a webinar describing the investment. 

So, I have no idea how much money I owe for 2023&2024, how much money is actually mine, how to take advantage of tax deductions/credits/RE professional Status/ renovation costs/perform a cost segregation, if I really need a wealth manager at this point and how to take out my retirement investment and move it to a mutual fund I run independently.My ultimate goal: create systems for my corps to run smoothly and optimize business-related expenses,  keep my books up-to-date for both corps so I know my input/output, pay quarterly taxes throughout the year, give myself a modest monthly income and  continue to preserve/build wealth and grow my RE PORTFOLIO!

Quote from @Hieu Le: Most HOAs consider a short-term rental to be a business, not a residence.

The city will require a few pictures of the apartment to make sure it is live-able and once a lease is signed and submitted to HRA, they will verify the applicants income, and it will take up to 10 business days for NYC HRA to write a check for the total amount of the 1 year lease. 

I hope you and William can do some business together!

- Should I use my own capital up front or try to partner with an established land flipping business to fund the deals? 

Not impressed at all with their business operations at all.  

Not a huge part of our business though. 

Preferably, someone with plenty of experience that has been in the business for a long time. 

I'd be looking for meetup groups of investors and start handing out business cards that say you are an investor looking for private deals to contribute to. sometimes its just 3-5 investors on a small house/STR
